Xian Lin'er

Biodata

Background

A disciple of Mu En, Xian Lin'er is a senior figure within Shrek Academy and the dean responsible for its Soul Tool Department. Mu En entrusts her with Ice Pole Divine Crystals and the task of developing a Soul Tool to suppress Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire, reflecting his confidence in both her strength and engineering ability 46.

She is married to Qian Duoduo, though their marriage is described as one in name only; she generally lives in her own Soul Tool Department quarters rather than with him 89. Her earlier experiences left her without children, and she treats Huo Yutong with maternal care 90.

When Jiang Yi becomes Mu En's disciple, Xian Lin'er becomes his senior sister. She gives him an eighth-level Space Barrier Ring, invites him to study Soul Tools, and later becomes his formal Soul Tool instructor after Mu En approves the arrangement 51 90 113.

Before his death, Mu En urges Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo to stop remaining emotionally bound to one another. They subsequently divorce, while Xian Lin'er continues her relationship with Jiang Yi after he succeeds Mu En as Sea God Pavilion Master 258 259.

Appearance

Xian Lin'er is a gorgeous, mature woman whose casual clothing contrasts with her status as a powerful academy dean 114.

• Often wears a white blouse and light-blue short skirt outside the academy setting 114.
• Has also appeared in a light-cyan formal gown during the Sun Moon Royal Academy exchange 203.
• Maintains an imposing presence even while concealing her cultivation and identity in Bright City 196 209.

Personality

Xian Lin'er is fiercely ambitious for the Soul Tool Department. She resents the Martial Soul Department's tendency to marginalize Soul Tools and repeatedly confronts Yan Shaozhe over resources, enrollment quotas, and Shrek's technological direction 103 196.

She is direct, hot-tempered, and willing to use force against students who disrespect Shrek or bully her companions. However, she is also protective of her students and junior brother, becoming deeply distressed during Jiang Yi's year-long disappearance and personally searching Star Luo City for him 157 209.

Her greatest professional strength is her willingness to learn. Although she is an experienced eighth-rank Soul Engineer, she accepts Jiang Yi's ideas on combining Tang Sect hidden weapons with Soul Tools and formally joins the Tang Sect as his student 121.

She continues to trust Jiang Yi's technological plans after he becomes Pavilion Master, supporting his proposed citywide Soul Power network despite questioning whether its use of the Golden Tree will succeed 259.

“Of course, bigger and stronger!” 121
